The locked knee is a term used when a person is not capable to bend or straighten their knee. There are two types of the locked knee — true and pseudo. In True locked knee, the knee joint gets locked in one position and is unable to move at all. Whereas in Pseudo locked knee, a person's knee is physically capable to move, but the body discourages knee movement due to severe pain and swelling.
Causes of true locked knee include:
• Meniscal tear
• Loose bodies in the knee
• Patella dislocation
• Knee joint inflammation
Causes of the pseudo-locked knee include:
• pain from a knee injury
• inflammation from injury or degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis)
• inflammation of the knee joint tissue - plica syndrome
• patellar maltracking, where the kneecap does not move correctly
If you are experiencing a locked knee, you should see an Orthopedic Surgeon such as Dr. Biren Nadkarni as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. He will be available in person at his clinic - Joint & Bone Solutions situated at Hauz Khas, New Delhi as well as through online consultation.
